The 2006 Barolo Cerequio shows wonderful nuance and depth in its red berries, flowers and spices in a classic expression of this great vineyard. The wine’s inner perfume emerges over time, adding layers of complexity and nobility to this pedigreed wine. The tannins naturally remain a touch firm at this stage, but another few years in bottle should do the Cerequio a world of good. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026. The Boroli family is relatively new to the world of wine, but has made important strides in a brief period of time. Achille Boroli has considerable passion, drive and attention for detail; all qualities that will serve him well as he continues to ratchet up quality. Importer: Dalla Terra, Napa, CA; tel.
